[Simh] OpenVMS 7.2 VAX telnet failure

[Lorenzo]

After some more fiddling I managed to get ahold of
TCP/IP V5.3 and its ECO-V0503-184 patch.

I've installed them both in my system and... issue disappeared.
The patch isn't really needed, TCP/IP V5.3 should be enough, but whatever.

Having installed these patches, I can confirm that
external software can't hurt telnet anymore.
Tested on both 7.2 and 7.3 VAX.
Case closed I guess?
